      It's inauguration day for the new President Porter. Newly minted First Daughter Liberty is enthusiastically exploring the White House, her new home, and giving all visitors a warm welcome. But can her secret agent man SAM and chief of staff Miss Crumm keep up with her antics? Liberty is wildly exuberant, reflecting the excitement of living in such a famous place. Kids will pick up on this exciting fantasy and learn a few fun facts about real First Children that Liberty shares with her new friends throughout the story.

      First, I have to say that this is the first book I have read by this author. For the age I teach I believe they will find most of it immature. However, I can think of one or two students who are still immature enough to like it. Libby’s father has just become President and she sees this as an adventure that she must live up to. She is definitely not dull. At times I felt she was too over the top. Once you accept the fact that this was written more for the fourth grader than the sixth through eighth grader I teach it wasn’t such a bad book. I just don’t think my students will buy in to it.
    • 3/5
      Why is third-grader Liberty Porter so excited? Well, because her dad was just elected President of the United States, making her First Daughter! You'd be excited, too. Liberty can't wait to see her new room in the White House, learn what her secret service code name will be, and get started on the most important project of her life - being a great First Daughter!The writing was okay and there's not much of a story, but this will please young girls (and boys) who are fascinated with Sasha and Malia or any of the other children of the White House. DeVillers manages to squeeze in more facts about the White House than you can shake a stick at, but it feels mostly organic and kids will find it interesting.

    Liberty Porter, First Daughter - Julia DeVillers

    Chapter 1

    IF YOUR FATHER IS ABOUT TO BECOME PRESIDENT of the United States, there are a few things you might want to know.

    Inauguration Day is the day a new president starts the job.

    Riding in the backward seat of the limo to Inauguration Day seems really cool. But it actually can make you kind of sick to your stomach.

    And then if you ask your dad to switch seats because you are feeling sick, don’t forget that you put something on the seat next to you: a congratulations card that you decorated in glitter glue. And maybe the glitter glue hadn’t exactly dried yet. And your dad sits on it.

    Liberty was learning all this new and important information today! Inauguration Day!! It was a historical day for America. And also a historical day for Liberty Porter.

    Because Liberty Porter’s father was the guy who was going to be president!

    This meant that LIBERTY PORTER WAS ABOUT TO BE FIRST DAUGHTER!

    Liberty had been nonstop excited since the election. But she needed to be serious now for just a moment. Liberty had watched out the windows at they’d driven through Washington, D.C. And now the limo had pulled up to the Capitol, the building where the country’s laws are made.

    Her mother smiled at her as she slid out of the limo. And then her father was getting up too.

    Um, Dad? Liberty said. Before you get out, I have two things I have to tell you.

    Of course, honey, her dad said.

    The first thing is that I made you a card! Liberty said. The second thing is that it’s stuck to your, um, butt.

    Her father turned around and looked surprised. He peeled the card off his pants and held it up. Whew! The glitter smiley faces had smudged, but the rest of the card still looked good.

    Well, thank you, he said. What a surprise. You usually just hand me the cards you make.

    Read it! Liberty said.

    Her father read out loud:

    You’re PRES-TASTIC! You’re PRES-TACULAR!

    You’re PRESIDENT!!!!

    Love your First (and Only!) Daughter,

    Liberty Porter

    I love it, her father said. I’ll hang it up in my new office.

    The Oval Office!!

    And what was the second thing you wanted to tell me? he asked her.

    The glitter glue wasn’t dry, Liberty told him.

    Um, yeah. There were very sparkly faces smiling from the back of his pants.

    The next few minutes were kind of busy. Liberty’s family had to Hurry! Because it was almost time for the Big Ceremony!

    But the new president couldn’t exactly go with sparkly smiley faces on him. So first there was this whole Oh, no! What gets glitter glue off of a suit? situation. The bad news was: You can’t. The good news was, the suit jacket was long enough to cover it, mostly.

    Well, now I’m happy on the inside and outside, her father said. Liberty’s father smiled at her, and she knew everything was totally fine. Everyone always said Liberty and her dad shared the same smile, black hair, and laugh.

    So finally they were ready. Liberty followed her parents up the ginormous steps of the Capitol building. This was where a new president took the oath of office.

    Liberty’s dad had told her a couple days ago that the oath of office was a promise. He would raise his right hand. And in front of millions of people, he would say a promise to do his best as president.

    There had been fewer than fifty people ever who had been president of the United States. It started with George Washington. And today it would continue with William Porter.

    Liberty had put that fact in the research report she’d written the month before at her old school. It was about all the presidents and their families. She’d called it What Happened Before the Porters Took Over the White House.

    Liberty had gotten an A+ on it! A+ = Awesomely Perfect! She did not always get an A+ Awesomely Perfect on her schoolwork.

    Liberty suddenly felt nervous. What if she was not an A+ First Daughter? What if she was really bad at being a First Daughter?

    Liberty Porter First Daughter First Report Card:

    F = First Daughter FAIL!

    Liberty’s stomach suddenly felt sickish again.

    It’s almost time, sweetie, her mom said to her.

    Liberty looked up at her mother. She looked very happy, but a little frozen. There were snowflakes melting on her mom’s medium-length brown hair. Her mom’s cheeks were almost as red as her deep red coat.

    Liberty shivered. She didn’t know if it was from the cold or from her nervous feeling.

    Mom, Liberty said. I’m not one hundred percent positive I know how to be a First Daughter.

    I think that’s okay, sweetie. Her mom smiled. You’ll learn as you go. And to be honest, I’m not one hundred percent positive I know how to be a first lady. I’ve never been one before, you know.

    Well, at least I know I won’t do what President Theodore Roosevelt’s son did, Liberty said. He dropped a giant snowball off the roof of the White House onto a policeman’s head!

    Then you’re off to a good start, her mother said.

    And I’m not going to bring a pony into the White House elevator like he did either, Liberty said.

    And I appreciate that, her mother said.

    But some First Kids had ponies and they never brought them inside! President John Kennedy’s daughter had a pony named Macaroni.

    Yes, I know. Liberty’s mom smiled. And I think I know where this conversation is heading.

    Oh, Liberty said. "Then I’ll just skip straight to the part where I
